The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Jean Paul Gaultier started in Paris in 1976. The founder built the house from apprenticeships at Drouet and Patou. He makes perfume, clothing, and accessories. The conical bra he designed for Madonna's 1990 Blond Ambition Tour became his signature. Gaultier's fragrance business eclipsed his fashion line by revenue. The original Le Male fragrance launched in 1995 and remains a bestseller. Today the brand operates globally with ownership under Puig since 2017. Gaultier appears across 21,133 tracked brands and ranks best in Beauty & Personal Care at number thirteen. The designer himself left day-to-day operations in 2020. His perfumes dominate supermarket shelves across Europe and the United States.
